Re: Displaying graphs before main() returns

 Hi Alex,

    I can not reproduce your problem on my machine whose kernel is

2.4.20-8smp #1 SMP, gcc version 3.2.2,root version 5.11/01.

    I named the following file "main.C", and typed ".x main.C" at Root prompt. And then historgram and canvas poped out. Maybe, I guess, there is something wrong with your exec method.

    Best wishes,

 Hengtong
